API differences in Hibernate ORM 5.1 vs 5.3
by Gail Badner
Hi,
There were lots of differences in the compatibility report, so as a first
step, I've excluded packages/classes that I considered SPI, internal, or
"grey area". This reduced the the differences to a more manageable amount.
You can see a summary of the incompatibilities along with suggested
mitigation at [1].
The report is attached to [1], along with a zip with instructions for
running the report.
I believe there are some "false positives" in the report, and I have
documented them in the section, "False Positives?".
Feel free to comment on the article.
Thanks,
Gail

IP banned from forum
by Gunnar Morling
Hi,
Is anyone banning users from the forum? I am getting "A ban has been
issued on your IP address."
I don't think banning by IP is a good strategy as many users will have
dynamic IPs from their hoster's shared pool, so it's a random game to
hit an IP previously banned due to some other user's spam.
Thanks,

New CI machine preview
by Sanne Grinovero
You're all welcome to play with http://54.225.162.168/
however please keep these in mind:
- it's not the final machine: don't put too much effort in creating
nice build scripts as we'll reset it to clean state soon. We *might*
be able to store jobs defined so far, but we might choose not to.
- domain name should be coming: ci.hibernate.org ..not sure when, got
no replies so far from.
- authentication: just click on login, it will use OAuth2 to request
your identity via your GitHub account. Permissions to create new jobs,
edit existing jobs, run a build manually depend on your github account
be part of the Hibernate organization (or not, in which case you have
read only status)
At this stage I'd like to get a feeling if the hardware is powerful
enough, and also we need to select which other plugins we want to use,
I'm looking especially to:
- static analysis reports
- pull requests integration
both are relatively undefined, we can of course start simple and
improve later.. just checking this fits basic needs now.

Hibernate Governance Model
by Yoann Rodiere
Hey all,
As the move to the Commonhaus Foundation is progressing, we need to start
thinking about complying with the foundation's requirements. Fortunately,
they are few, and they make a lot of sense.
A particularly important requirement is to publish various policies [1].
Most of these policies we already publish or can start publishing easily;
e.g. the code of conduct can be copied verbatim from Commonhaus' own code
of conduct. But we, at Hibernate, have one gaping hole: our governance
model.
We've been getting by for years with an "implicit" governance and
decision-making model, and it worked great. But:
1. If we want to join Commonhaus, the list of current project leaders, as
well as how they get their position, must be clear: they are responsible
for compliance with Commonhaus requirements and need to sign paperwork.
2. Our move to Commonhaus is, among other reasons, intended to provide
strong openness guarantees and to foster contribution. Both require clarity
on how exactly decisions are made.
So, *it's time to make our governance model explicit*. I submitted a pull
request [2] taking inspiration from the Commonhaus template [3].
*To anyone involved in a Hibernate project*, be it now or a long time ago,
be it just for one commit or full-time for years: *please have a look*,
comment if you disagree or find problems, and let us know if you agree,
with an approving review or a thumbs-up reaction on the main description.
This governance model can only make sense if all members agree with it, and
commit to complying with it. Ultimately, the decision will be up to
Hibernate team members, but the opinion/concerns of all contributors are
very important.
*The pull request: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate.org/pull/231
<https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate.org/pull/231>*
Please keep the discussions on that pull request, that'll make things
easier to follow.
